The Chrome Dinosaur Game
The Google Dino Game is a simple endless runner associated with the Chrome browser's offline experience.
When Chrome cannot reach a webpage, the familiar dinosaur appears with a short message about being offline. Pressing the spacebar or tapping the screen starts a run through a minimalist desert landscape filled with obstacles.
The idea is deliberately simple: keep the dinosaur moving, avoid obstacles, and survive for as long as possible while the game gradually becomes faster.
